Can we assume that an edited post or comment wad made by a human? Kinda curious if the edit flag implies ‘human’ now?
Good 2 questions.
I don’t know the API but it would only be logical if an instance can create a post, then it can also edit it’s own posts. Therefore: No, you cannot know it for sure.
OTOH I am pretty sure that current bots don’t do that. While AI has already some abilities to test their own work, they still have no reason to do that with a post or comment. Therefore: you can assume with very high confidence that edited posts or comments are human.
Right, thanks, that’s helpful. But i think I wasn’t clear enough.
I know that it technically can, I’m more wondering how likely that capability is right now, so that it’s kind of unlikely that edited comments are AI at the moment, perhaps?
I get how it works, but I’m not as privy to how it’s being implemented in social media platforms, if this makes sense.
Sorry, I have read your whole response, I think I’m just being obtuse.
I guess I didn’t mean bots – maybe that’s where our disconnect is? I was thinking of APIs (and maybe that’s where our now means bots?) and bigger things than what I think of as bots. So I may have misunderstood you.

Now I’m confused. Thoroughly.
Either you haven’t read more than the first line of my explanations… or your attempt at clarification has made your real question even more unclear.
(Hmmm… do unclear questions indicate human?)

In AI terms it is called “agent” but in social media terms it is called “bot”. For this topic they are the same.
